Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS), today accepted a petition filed
by the California Avocado Commission
representing California avocado producers for
trade adjustment
assistance. The Administrator will determine
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports
of avocados contributed importantly to a decline
in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or
more during the marketing period beginning
November 1, 2005, and ending October 31, 2006.
If the
determination is positive, all producers who
produce and market their avocados in California
will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service
Agency for no cost technical assistance and for
adjustment assistance payments.
